Jan. 2011 Cuba Mission Trip Meeting on Sept. 19 and 'Clown Ministry' Update

Dear Friends of Cuba,


Thanks for continuing to pray for our brothers and sisters in Cuba.


Please remember that on Sunday, September 19, at First Baptist Church of West Palm Beach, starting at 12:30 pm, in the Development Center, Room 305, there will be a short informational meeting for those who are interested in going, praying and supporting our short-term mission program in Cuba.

We are planning now for the January 2011 trip.

Come and find out how you can be involved in our on-going effort to continue working with the Cuban Baptist Convention of Churches, house churches, the Baptist Theological Seminary, the Baptist Home and families who are sharing the love of Christ on the island.

We recently received email from Martica, who is one of the leaders of a troupe of clowns who minister to churches and other groups in the Havana area. Martica is a gifted musician who has dedicated her time to learning the art of clowning. She plays guitar, accordion, marimba and has just added playing bottles filled with water to her repertoire! She and her group of clowns are constantly coming up with new skits to entertain and draw children, as well as adults, to learn more about Christ through their vignettes. Martica’s group sew their own costumes. She even showed us that she makes the clown shoes from recycled tires! We try to bring clown makeup, wigs, sewing notions and cloth each time we travel so that Martica and the other clowns can continue to add to their wardrobe.


Please pray for Martica, Julita, Kexelis, Juan and others who share Christ through their clown ministry.
